Justin’s event planner

Justin’s event planner: see what rewards you can get with different amounts of AP, what stages are best to sweep.
- To calculate the bare minimum (e.g. buy wanted shop items and stop after X event points), set Targets to “min clear”.
- To make it keep spending AP (e.g. keep farming gacha boxes, lessons), set Targets to “Currency”.

Use Schale.gg to check the enemies’ true levels (which is what affects the level penalty), and see drop rates.

Example and mechanics.
YouTube is your next best friend. You may need to use broad search terms, or the name of the event, like “Blue Archive bunny challenge 5” or “Blue Archive get set go challenge 3”.
Example: Vuhn Ch’s challenge videos.
Example video: Challenge 5 by Valiant.
You don’t need those exact units to beat it, just students who can do a similar job.

Sweep saves your highest bonus per token. You might have to do multiple runs. Do story stage 1 first if an event has a welfare; they always give event bonuses.
E.g. If a stage drops 3 event tokens:

You can do 3* objectives one at a time (for all game stages), so try it with unused bonus chars at lvl 1.
Bonus units can die, but their team cannot forfeit or be defeated.
If it’s too hard, swap out your lowest bonus unit for a real unit and keep doing that until you can clear it.

Seventh’s Pyro Planner tracks pvp coins too. Instructions are on the first tab. You can also check dates in Midokuni’s “Banner Summary” tab.
Use Justin’s planner or the old event excel to see which events are worth refreshing for you.
Refresh for any 2x/3x drops you need, like 2x normal, hard, commissions.
For event details, find them in Story Events or search their title in this wiki. Make sure you’re looking at the appropriate event; it’ll have “rerun” in the title if it’s a rerun.

Here’s an example of how to hoard AP. The dates in the first guide will be incorrect for any other event, but you will do the same steps on the equivalent days. For example, you always start about 2 days before maintenance will end.
If there’s a high risk you can’t follow these exactly, don’t follow these guides, you’ll just waste AP and pyro. Set alarms to make sure you do it properly.
You can do simple 24 hour hoarding instead:
- Collect your cafe AP 24 hours before maintenance will end + a few extra hours after, in case it gets delayed. For example, if maintenance ends at 6 AM, collect at 9 AM the day before, or whenever you usually play after maintenance.
- You gain 10 AP per hour, so collect/spend so you will have near max/right at max when you play after maintenance.
Other notes:
- AP sent to your mail only lasts 24 hours. To be safe, you want to wait so it will last a few hours after maintenance is projected to end (the guides already account for this). Nexon will not refund you lost AP.
- You cannot refresh via pyro if you don’t have the physical space. Each refresh gives 120 AP, you need that much space x number of pyro refreshes to do it.
- When you have 999 AP, you cannot claim AP, PvP, raid or JFD (Joint Firing Drill) rewards. That’s why the guide says to fail one normal stage for -1 AP so you can.
